I found this old agenda/calendar/journal/log book of sorts (are you getting the idea that I don't know exactly what it is...) at the flea market a few months back and I absolutely love it. The old paper and the gorgeous handwriting filling the pages are simply beautiful. I am thinking of framing some of the pages to hang in my home. What do you think? Don't you think it would be a lovely present to frame a specific day for someone's birthday or anniversary? The possibilities are endless...

Have you been following AVE Styles amazing blog? It is written by the lovely Alexandra Evjen all about her many adventures as a fashion stylist. In a recent styling photo shoot she calls "Let's Dance" they used all clothing from the Willows and our very own Jen was the stunning model.

Peek on over to her blog and the AVE Styles website for more information if you are looking for your own stylist. Also be sure to visit Jeanette LaBlanc's website as she did the amazing photography for this shoot!

We had a lovely woman come in to the store the other day - her niece just passed away from a brain tumor. She was only 6 years old. The story is truly heartbreaking. Now the family is in need of donations to help pay for the outrageous hospital bills, etc. They live in Santa Barbara and you can find their story and a place to help on their blog Praying for Nina. If you can help them, I am sure it would be so greatly appreciated and, if not, be sure to keep them in your prayers.
